Aaron Ware
In the mid-90s to early 00s, Aaron was a regular performer on the Altona and Williamstown stages, where he began to find his feet (well, hands) in writing as one of the students of ACTion Youth Theatre. By the year 2000 he had filmed a feature-length film with over 50 actors at various locations around the community.
A lifetime spent consuming pop-culture led him to create Pop-Culture themed crosswords and word puzzles- which garnered the attention of Joss Whedon, who chose to feature Aaron's work in the Season 8 finale issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer- written by Whedon himself.
Since then, Aaron has gone back to chasing his dreams with such creations as a universe of connected Fairy-Tale pantomimes, published two creative outlet resource books for school students, and spent 12 years developing The Tonaston Tales before finally publishing the first book in the trilogy in 2018.
His educational resources are now being used in over 300 classrooms worldwide!
Life in, and connection to, Hobsons Bay
Having lived, worked, and studied in the Hobson's Bay area for his entire life, upcoming author Aaron Ware's connection to the community reaches as far back as the early 1900s through his maternal ancestors, the Cameron family- being one of the pioneering families of the area.
Aaron Ware was born at Altona Hospital in the mid-80s, and attended three schools within the area.
